Ideal for machining pros and shop owners
who want to increase productivity and profits in the design,
layout and set-up stages of production and reduce wear and tear
on costly cutting tools.

The Machinist Calc Pro is
the first dedicated handheld machining math and reference tool
to provide a complete assortment of machine shop solutions. It
has more complete Thread data than the Machinery's
Handbook, including step-saving Thread and Drill Size
chart look-ups, speeds and feeds, right triangle solutions, bolt
patterns and much more.
